The Perfect Fall Reading Snack

Sorry about the hiatus…coming back from vacation and settling back into work took up a lot of my energy these past couple of weeks. 

Now that fall is officially here, I’m thinking about cuddling up with a good book and a perfect fall reading snack.

Here are some options:

1.  Apples (Macintosh apples are my favorites this time of year) plain, or with cinnamon sugar, or dipped in caramel 🙂

2.  Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

3.  Apple cider

4.  Slightly less healthy (but no less delicious):  Little Debbie Pumpkin Delights.  These might be a once a season snack.

The Perfect Reading Snack: Summer Edition

Ice water with raspberries and an amazing ARC-great combination.

On my days off, I try to spend as much time as I can reading (preferably outside).  An entire afternoon of reading, ruminating, and enjoying the breeze is pretty much all I can handle on a hot summer day.  So, how to fuel these lovely afternoons?  Here’s a list of some of my favorite summer reading snacks:

Cucumber spears and pepper strips with hummus

Strawberries (picked from a local farm)

Israeli Couscous Salad (this is getting into lunch territory, but I would have a small bowl of this as a snack).  The recipe can be found at Food Network.

Cherry Tomatoes

Grapes

Limeade
